Lansdowne Gardens is a new three bedroom house which has replaced a derelict single storey doctors surgery within a conservation area. We were approached by our client through a recommendation. The derelict site was purchased with consent for a two bed house which was won at appeal by another firm. Following discussions with neighbours and the local authority, we tailored a new proposal to suit our clients aspirations. Due to the strict planning constraints, the house follows the form of the original doctors surgery and includes a new basement as established by the appeal scheme.
